I've been checking out '73 and '74 after a long stretch of only listening to 72 and prior, as well as the shows I've personally attended (86-93). I had my reasons. Anyway, I had this show on while I was cleaning my house getting ready to sell it. I happened to notice that Phil and Billy are just killin' it on Eyes of the World. Especially Billy. The rhythm devils are greater than the sum of the parts, but when you listen to the one drummer shows, you realize that Billy was the drummer they NEEDED. 5 stars just for the bass and drums on Eyes. The rest is pretty good too!

I feel bad about busting on her, but I just don't understand how on her vocalizations on Scarlet how could she be sooooo weak? I heard about problem monitors, not skilled at loud projection, and maybe some times drugs. But to have it so frequently off, I still can't make sense of it. Is it lack of soulfulness? Sorry Donna. We love ya, just don't get it. Think of the great singers with Pink Floyd or the Stones, and compare?

To suggest that any set in this stellar show is not 5 star reflects a lack of "getting it". Not surprising. There will always be more people who don't get it than do. Ken Kesey was right. If you don't appreciate that 3rd set Truckin' ->Mind Left Body Jam ->Spanish Jam -> then you just don't get it. Oh well: nobody's perfect.

Subject: CM Soundboard Super Show
This is one of the greatest shows of the greatest period in Dead history, 72-74, and actually I consider the best part of that period to be what I'm calling the Year And A Day. Namely, 10-19-73 through 10-20-74. Incredibly, they reached such heights in a three set show that didn't include Playin', Dark Star, The Other One or Morning Dew. But when you start a 30+ minute jam with Truckin' that includes Mind Left Body AND Spanish jams, you don't really need an Other One. This also has one of the best Scarlets and to my ears, possibly the best ever China>Rider. Jerry dips, dives, soars and wails through a long transition including the classic "Philo Stomp" jam in D major. Half Step is another highlight, and 18 minutes of Eyes -- what more do you need? Just forget about "Seastones" = awful, ear-shredding noise.

Gotta say I have a love/hate relationship with Hartford. Lived there 2002-2004 and couldn’t stand it, couldn’t wait to leave and go to Boston. On the other had, there were so many top notch Dead shows there that redemption is at hand. My time seeing shows there was in college during the early 1980s (an hour away) and they were mostly scorching, 1983 comes to mind. But this show is truly amazing - I mean just over the top from stem to stern. Listening right now to Spanish jam, which followed an amazing Truckin‘ > Mind Left Body jam. Just dripping psychedelic music played at a relaxed pace, what a day this must have been. Go GD in Hartford! 7 Stars.

I was 15. Been listening to the Dead on albums for a couple of years (esp American Beauty & Europe 72). Me and a bunch of friends attended. A hit of windowpane an hour before the show. Wow. Much of it was a blur, but when Truckin' came on they turned on all the stadium lights. And the crowd just LIT UP. I relisten to this every year or two.
And yes -- the sound on this recording is awesome.

Subject: Stadiumless @ crazy middle set
On a small gridiron pitch with bleachers and room for a couple thousand (there's no actual stadium) at Colt Park. They'd played it in '72 but would switch to the Civic Center for 18 shows from '77 to '90 (they played in Colt Park itself, across the street from the bleachers, in '76). From the AUD it doesn't sound like there were more than a few hundred attending, pero quién sabe? This is the show before the Philly shows (with the great Playin' the first night and the hot show the second). The show before (Cap Centre - Columbia District) was also great and was the 2012 Dave's Picks bonus disc.
This show is notable for a near-perfect second set (of three - not counting Seastones); one of the top sets of '74. That makes it almost 5 hours with intermissions, and helps explain why (unusually for '74) they repeated half the songs from the show before. Fear not that the 1st Set is average. Stick with it and hear a local park pitch in Hartford lose its terra adhesion. It wasn't a much-traded show for whatever reason but has come into its own since it's release as Dave's #2. Overall it's a '74 Top Twenty - maybe Top Ten.
First Set. One of only 2 shows that start with a Scarlet (Ally Pally #3), I always enjoy the end-workout of the '74 arrangement. Keith is awesome on Me & My Uncle. There's an average Beat it On Down the Line-dozen (Baker's for Keith) but the vox drop from the SBDs (try the matrix). It's a little rough after that (though Roses has a nice, non-dirge tempo) until Jack Straw kicks asses. China>Rider is a little too loose to be a '74 classic but Around finishes the set strong. Bobby's off-tune shouting notwithstanding, it's a smoker with Jer getting some off-the-usual licks, first with a blues scale solo, then with Berry double-stop and rhythm figures using added sevenths.
Second Set. Bertha isn't the tightest ever but the solo is so sweet-spotted it cures diabetics, Bobby's laying great fills and Phil is walking all over the place (awesome or frustrating? You decide!). Big River = good gods. '74 is lousy with great Eyes (Louisville, Winterland, etc.), and this is one of them. Phil is having a hell of a show and this one is just hard to believe. The band ends and Jer just keeps doodling alone until Billy recognizes China Doll. It's amazing how a Berry 3-chorder can be so different each night, but on this Promised Land Jer whittles the whole way through. Tidewater 4-10-09! Jer is on tiptoes for Ship, reaching deep. And Keith - wow. Weather Report>LiG is better the show before but the last five minutes are incredible.
Third Set. The band's just coasting at first with Jer understated and Donnaskreech™ on Greatest Story. But then the set blows wide with a Truckin'>Wharf that includes both Mind left AND Spanish jams. It starts sloppy but then takes off on the back of Mssr. Garcia. From Truckin' through the jam takes 32 minutes until a Wharf where Billy's the king (even though Jer first teases Wharf @11:00!). Fatigue then sets in - as it often did on the long ones.
1st Set: B-
2nd Set: A+
3rd Set: C
Overall = 4 Stars
Highlights:
Me & My Uncle - check Keith here
Jack Straw - it all works
Around & Around - listen to Jer play it a little different
SET TWO - entire set is a must-hear
Truckin'>Wharf Rat - a Truckin' jam to a MLB jam to a Spanish jam to a Wharf separates a soccer pitch from the planet
SOURCES: Dave's Picks 2, like many of the SBDs, runs 1% fast - tolerable to most, I'm sure, and much less than we put up with in the blanx-n-postage days. The miller SBD is slightly better than DP2 but with the beginning of Scarlet cut (try the tobin matrix).

Subject: Nice Once Here Charlie!!!
Subject: Nice Once Here Charlie!!!
I often find myself unsure of whether I prefer a CM remaster to a very crisp original MSR, assuming the MSR is clean as Charlie always goes the extra mile to provide a patch if it exists somewhere. Best I can guess is I probably come down around 50:50. Some of the best Betty Boards for example, CM remasters are good, and do offer at least a noticeable change, and depending on what you are looking for in the source you plan to keep, that change will often equal an upgrade. I've tried out every remaster, matrix, and whatever else has popped up over the years, and still find the unadulterated Betty reels of Cornell to be the absolute peak source of that show...and its not even close, but that is just me.
Why am I going on about all this, because CM's remaster of 7/31/74 is sublime, powerful, just right in virtually every way. The MSR that has been available on LMA forever is stellar. Really, one of the very very best(clean ^ crisp/pops) SBD recordings there is from the WOS era. It does not feature any of the flatness, or un-ignorable high hiss that malign so many other 73-74 sources. It's only flaws are a few random cuts, that really have zero impact on taking in the show. I wasn't expecting to prefer Charlie's, but I thought I'd better check it out since this stream will be a thing of the past within the month. If you get there in time, scoop this up before its too late. We should have a little time as 5/25/77 is slotted for release first.
Aside from the sound issues, this is one of those shows where you don't need to wonder if what you see on paper will deliver on its potential. This is a monster night that stands out near the highest peaks that the 73-74 GD ever reached. A must for all!

Subject: First show..... and still making me smile
Not yet a mega fan, I knew a fair tunes from listening to my best friend's older bothers' copies of Workingman's, American Beauty, Live Dead and Europe '72 when he off took for a semester in Europe and left us 15 year olds behind to wallow through his music collection [as we'd done 5 years earlier as 10 year olds when he went up to Woodstock]. So when a friend that had moved to CT called to say he had an extra ticket for the Dead at Dillon Stadium, I figured "why the hell not". Best snap decision I ever made. Not only was this show a mind blowing affair for me, it started me on my own long,strange trip. One that I wouldn't trade for the world. So many shows, so many great tunes, so many life long friends, so many smiles, so much peace and love. All thanks to one phone call and a train ride from NJ to Hartford. Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.....

I am becomning a bigger fan of '74 all the time. Really like Keith's keys(both piano and MOOG) during the Wall of Sound period, and this show in particular.
Among the numerous highlights are China> Rider (incl. soaring, flawless transition jam), a big dreamy Eyes, and WRS. Of course, the pinnacle is the Truckin> Mind Left Body Jam> Spanish Jam. Really great improvisational stuff!!

Aside from the other great accolades for this show, the mix is particularly amazing -- especially Billy's drums.
The floor toms seem like they were mic'ed deep, a la Sgt. Pepper style. Regardless, the bottom-end of this show features joyous interplay between Billy and Phil.

The show comes out with guns blazing and really gives you a full dose of prime GD music. Everyone seems to be into this show and 3 sets make this a must have for any deadhead. Highlights include a 18 minute Eyes and a great Truckin'-->Jam. The only flaw is in the recording but nothing over the top to take away for the great tunes. Overall 4 1/2 stars. If Dark star was played it would have been 5 but hey there is always tomorrow to find that hidden jewel of a show.
Peace,
Gagas

This was the 2nd time I saw them at Dillon Stadium. First time was in July 72. But this time they were dwarfted by the WOS. What a fucking monster! When it worked right it was phenominal. It worked right this LSD drenched afternoon into night. Nostalgia pushes this show to a five star performance. Wrapping it up with UJB was the capper to a long day of Dead.

Subject: One Of The Most Unusual Shows Ever
In just under 4 hours, this is one of the most unusual shows they ever did. Jerry on the original Wolf shines on all three full sets plus a humor-drenched, Phil-dominated Seastones.
Each set was like a half of a normal first set and a half of a normal second set. All the songs are good minus a few slops and clams and the recording has various glitches and drop outs, but it really delivers on the important stuff. There is lots of innovative jamming throughout.
Highlights:
Set 1: China>Rider: Jerry flames toward the end of China Cat and carries it through to grand finale.
Set 2: Eyes> Stronger Than Dirt > China Doll > Ship >WRS > WRS2 > LIG. Relentless. One of the finest and most well-developed WRS' of all time.
Set 3: TLMD, Truckin'>Mind Left Jam and Spanish Jam. Astounding, mesmerizing, captivating.
One of my favorite shows of 1974. One of the unheralded great shows of all time.

Half Step is stellar...
To Lay Me Down is flawless...
A perfectly drummed, rockin' China Rider..
An excellent Playin' in the Band...
A long, jazzy Truckin...
And, what a beautifully cheerily mournful MLB Jam...
Straight through to the end, this show has not a fault anywhere.
Upon reflection, though, I think this show, and GD shows in general, work better when the jams are not all separated into separate tracks. I recommend downloading the version of this that has Truckin>Mlb>Spanish lumped into one track. This is because the whole is far, far greater than the sum of its parts.
But five stars anyway, because you need any copy of this show you can find.
